CPT stands for Current Procedural Terminology. These codes are used to give a uniform term for procedures for the purpose of efficiency in filing claims. There is a particular code for every medical service. You might find this helpful for further information: patients.about.com/od/costsconsumerism/a/cptcodes.htm
When the words "separate procedure" appear after the descriptor of a code, it indicates that the procedure can be performed independently of other procedures and is not bundled with them. This means that if it is performed alongside another procedure, it may be billed separately. It highlights that the procedure has distinct clinical significance and should be recognized as a standalone service.
